Pick her up next weekend, only had 4hr test ride to date and me and a mate had a go and we both ended up buying one each ! Phenomonal bike, so much torque, and it handles quite well to.
BIG change for me as I have always had mad bikes previously; Gixxers, blackbird, ZX12R, etc etc but now im mid 40"s thought I would get something a bit more sensible.....or so I thought!
Rocket is very nice to ride tho.
Go on, you know it makes sense..

The Rocket's a great bike - I spent last summer on one, and it gets more fun the more you get used to it. Fantastic performance and draws a crowd wherever you stop. enjoy !

I use the triumph site t595.net, and several experiences of rockets on there.
One guy had a nightmare with an oil leak, but generally well loved.

I went to spain with some guys and a rocket in the middle. I always remember being over taken at 130+ with my kneee down - by a rocket with a passenger..
